Persistence to Basal Insulin Association With Improved Health Outcomes
Insulin persistence is associated with positive health and economic outcomes, according to a study conducted by researchers at the University of Mississippi, the Pharmacy Quality Alliance (PQA), and Ohio Northern University, the results of which were published in Clinical Diabetes in December of 2023. The study highlights the promising applicability of a method to measure insulin persistence at the population level. This same method is the foundation for PQA’s Persistence to Basal Insulin (PST-INS) health plan performance measure.
